Plot Synoposis:
This is a story of Wei Xiao Bao, a little boy born in the market, who enters jianghu and the imperial palace by chance without knowing any martial arts.
He uses his extraordinary wisdom to deal with martial arts gangs and the imperial courts, and climbing all the way up and gaining status and power.
Wei Xiaobao first pretends to be a eunuch and helps Kangxi kill Ao Bai.
Later, he meets Chen Jin Nan, the chief of the Tiandihui sect, and becomes Chen Jin Nan’s disciple and incense master of the Qingmu Hall of Tiandihui.
He assists Kangxi in attacking Wu San Gui and Shenlong Island, and finally ends his official career with the expedition to the Raksha Kingdom, abandoning prosperity and wealth.
Wei Xiao Bao matures from a gangster who only wants to be friends with the emperor in exchange for a rich and noble life, into a “deer prince” who discerns loyalty from evil.
He finally understands that wealth and authority have always been in his hands even when he didn’t know it.
Rather than die for the future, it is better to live a life of fireworks.
